Deletion discussion about Adam Tuck

Hello Robin S. Taylor, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Adam Tuck, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adam Tuck.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Sionk}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Fiennes-Clinton (Earl of Lincoln)

Hello Robin S. Taylor

Firstly let me say how mightily impressive are your herald painting skills - superb work - allez, allez svp!

Also I should be much obliged if you could help by creating an image (incl. a line drawing, if poss) of the quartered arms of the Earl of Lincoln. When the dukedom of Newcastle-under-Lyne became extinct in 1988, the 10th & last Duke's subsidiary title of Earl of Lincoln (cr. 1572) devolved upon his 10th cousin, becoming the 18th Earl. As yet, I have seen no illustration of the 19th and present Earl's arms, quartering Clinton (1. & 4.) with Fiennes (2. & 3.), which are blazoned:

Escutcheon: Quarterly, 1st & 4th: Argent six Cross Crosslets fichées Sable three two and one on a Chief Azure two Mullets Or pierced Gules (CLINTON); 2nd & 3rd: Azure three Lions rampant Or (FIENNES)
Crest: Out of a Ducal Coronet a Panache of five Ostrich Feathers Argent banded with a Line laid chevronwise and knotted Azure
Coronet: That of an Earl
Mantling: Ermine and Sable
Supporters: On either side a Greyhound Argent collared and lined Gules
Motto: LOYAULTÉ N'A HONTE

Thanking you in advance for any assistance & looking forward to hearing from you.

@Robin S. Taylor: qv.

Could you perhaps create an image of the whole achievement? That'd be great - many thanks.

Hello, Robin S. Taylor. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Charles III Coronation Music".

License tagging for File:Nigel Birch 1950 (crop).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Nigel Birch 1950 (crop).jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:John Boyd-Carpenter 1949.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:John Boyd-Carpenter 1949.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:James Stuart 1943.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:James Stuart 1943.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.

Non-free rationale for File:David Eccles 1953.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:David Eccles 1953.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Illustration request

Dear Mr Taylor

I wonder whether you might create the escutcheon of the Counts of Rendufe, like this one https://www.heraldrysinstitute.com/lang/en/coat_of_arms_card/idit/16980/Coat+of+arms+of+family+Silva. They belong to the first Count. These arms are entirely absent on wikipedia and very difficult to find on the net. They have been misattributed by auction houses and the only one online is completely wrong and made up. I would be most grateful! Oanvoovad (talk) 18:57, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, 2024 Special Honours/Draft

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2024 Special Honours/Draft. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2024 Special Honours. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2024 Special Honours. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. --MuZemike 16:22, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Baron Grady of Altrincham
